Modelling the Specific Grinding Energy and Ball-Mill Scaleup
The dimensions estimated refer to ball-mills operating under wet grinding conditions. These ballmills are of overflow type (Overflow discharge). If these ball-mills were of grate type (wet grate discharge), the power for the calculation of their dimensions must be increased by about 16% (Rowland, 1982).

Grinding tests were conducted on an oxidized copper-cobalt ore using a pear-shaped ball mill. Twelve mono-sized ore fractions were prepared and wet ground batchwise. The mill was run for 0.5 to 30 min intervals. The shortest interval provided data more closely related to the breakage function (B) because less secondary breakage was hypothesized.
